Yiwu Market Shipping Guide

Learn how shipping from Yiwu works, including consolidation, air freight, sea freight, cartons, and landed cost planning.

Plan shipping before ordering

Low product prices do not guarantee profit if shipping volume is high. Ask for carton size, gross weight, and quantity per carton before confirming a buying plan.

For mixed orders from several suppliers, many buyers use a Yiwu warehouse or forwarder to consolidate goods before international shipping.

Choose the right freight method

Air freight is faster but expensive for bulky goods. Sea freight is better for larger shipments but requires more planning time. Courier shipments can work for samples or urgent small parcels.

Always check customs duties, local taxes, import restrictions, and labeling rules in your destination country.
